Community Care

Maintaining independence within your own home

Community Care enables people to remain in their own homes independently for as long as possible. Community Care supports lifestyle choices by providing a diverse range of services to people in their homes, people with a disability or those recovering from a stay in hospital or recovering from an illness.

These are offered on a fee for service basis. Services can be negotiated from as little as 30 minutes to 24 hour care. For more information on our services please call us on 1800 620 356.
